“Oldboy” Screenwriter Hwang Joyoon To Make Streaming Debut with High-Stakes Crime Thriller “Gold Land,” Coming Exclusively to Disney+ – kdramadiary

Park Bo Young and Kim Sung Cheol lead this gritty, fast-paced tale of smuggling, secrets and survival! 

Disney+ has unveiled its newest Korean original series, Gold Land — a pulse-pounding crime thriller penned by Oldboy screenwriter Hwang Joyoon.

Starring Light Shop Keeper’s Park Bo Young and No Way Out: The Roulette’s Kim Sung Cheol, the series promises high tension, unexpected twists, and emotional depth.

Gold Land follows Kim Heeju (Park Bo Young), a woman from a quiet rural town who stumbles into dangerous territory after unwittingly landing a van packed with smuggled gold. Suddenly on the run from ruthless criminals, Heeju is forced to revisit the hometown — and the past — she thought she left behind for good.

Kim Sungcheol plays Jang Wook (a.k.a. Woogy), a member of the very organization hunting Heeju down — and someone who shares a complicated history with her from their childhood.

Directed by Kim Sunghoon (Chief Detective 1958, Confidential Assignment) and written by Hwang Joyoon (Oldboy, Rampant, Memoir of a Murderer), Gold Land delivers a potent mix of suspense, action, and emotional intrigue.

This series is part of Disney+’s expanding lineup of must-watch Korean content. Other upcoming titles include Delusion (working title), a supernatural tale of a grief-stricken vampire; Low Life, a gritty treasure hunt among deceitful outcasts; and Tempest, a geopolitical thriller involving a diplomat and a special agent uncovering a high-stakes conspiracy.

Gold Land is set to premiere exclusively on Disney+. Stay tuned for more updates.
